The Board dismissed the Veteran's challenges to the rate of recoupment of an overpayment arising from an adjustment of her separation pay amount, finding that it lacked jurisdiction due to a precedent decision by the VA Office of General Counsel.
The deciding factor: The Board is without jurisdiction to adjudicate a challenge to a compromise between the Veteran and DMC, as the rate of recoupment qualifies as a compromise pursuant to a precedential opinion of the VA Office of General Counsel.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
